Public record

After a LaGrange man end up atop the hood of a Goldsboro woman's car for a two-block ride Wednesday night, Wayne County deputies had to sort out how it happened.

Jeffrey Lynn Carter, 37, of Andres Lane, told deputies that he had been standing in the cul-de-sac near his home around 8:30 p.m. when Sadie Nelson Sutton, 42, of Hood Swamp Road, drove up. She was looking for her husband, Carter said.

Carter told deputies that he was 30-45 yards away from Mrs. Sutton's car when she started to leave in a hurry and driving right at him. He had no time to do anything but leap on the hood of her Pontiac Grand Prix.

She continued to drive for two blocks before Carter slid off, he said.

Deputies found Mrs. Sutton at home and heard a different version.

According to Mrs. Sutton, when she drove on the cul-de-sac, an angry Carter confronted her. Carter began kicking her door and windows and said he was going to kill her, she said.

When she started to leave, Carter jumped on the hood and continued to threaten her, she said. She said she did not stop because she was scared.

Deputies found bootprints on the vehicle that matched those on the bottom on Carter's shoes.

Deputies did arrest Carter on an outstanding warrant for failure to pay child support.
